Chapter 1166: I’ve Always Been With You

Editor: Henyee Translations

The morning sun illuminated the ward, filling the room with a soft glow. The windows were spotless, and the room seemed to sparkle.

Gu Yang could faintly hear birds singing in the treetops, their spring melodies crisp and soothing.

On this peaceful, beautiful morning, she slowly opened her eyes and sat up. She was still attached to several medical instruments, making movement difficult, so she remained seated, feeling slightly dazed.

Hearing the door open, she looked up in a bit of a trance.

Gu Jin and Feng Jue, deep in conversation, froze when they saw her sitting quietly on the bed.

The medical report in Gu Jin’s hand slipped to the floor.

Feng Jue’s dull eyes lit up as he approached her, almost as if afraid this was a delicate dream. His voice was soft, trembling. “Sister…”

Gu Yang blinked and then hugged the handsome young man before her, a radiant smile brightening her face. “Ah Jue, I’m back.”

She’d made the right bet.

The UO would bring her back on track.

Feng Jue also hugged her tightly and rested his chin on her head. His voice was soft, “Sister, can you not leave again?”

Gu Yang: “Okay.”

Gu Jin helped Gu Yang dismantle the instruments and tubes that were connected to her, her movements gentle.

She glanced at Feng Jue. “Move aside.”

Feng Jue snorted, but in order not to hinder Gu Jin, he reluctantly let go of Gu Yang.

Gu Yang sat there obediently and waited for Gu Jin to remove the equipment for her. Then, she hugged her. “Sister, I missed you too.”

Gu Jin’s cold eyes were also dyed much gentler by the morning sun. She hummed softly. “Me too.”

Gu Yang leaned on her shoulder. “Sister, I saw the two of you when you were young. You’re so cute.”

Gu Jin asked, “You went back? You even lost your memory after you went back?”

Gu Yang nodded. “I remembered everything just a day or two before the light cone experiment. Sister, I kept it from you on purpose because I wanted it back. I’m sorry.”

She lowered her head, like a child admitting a mistake, her apology sincere.

Gu Jin gently patted her head. “What matters is that you’re back.”

Feng Jue turned to Gu Jin. “Was Sister’s memory loss after returning caused by the side effects of the spiritual energy elevation medicine?”

Gu Jin nodded. “Most likely. I suspected she might experience memory loss after waking up, but it seems the side effects have passed.”

Feng Jue’s expression softened, but he pressed further, “Is there anything else we should worry about with her condition?”

Gu Jin checked Gu Yang’s pulse. “No, she’s fine.”

Only now did Gu Yang realize that the memory loss she experienced after returning to Big Sister and the little blood bank at age seven was due to the side effects of the mental strength elevation drug.

She looked out the window, where the sun shone brightly, trees swayed in the breeze, and birds chirped as they hopped from branch to branch.

It should be the warm spring season.

She remembered that when she was kidnapped by Utopia, it was still winter.

Gu Yang asked, “How long was I unconscious for?”

Feng Jue: “More than three months. Sister, I miss you too.”

Three months was not a long time, but to him, every day was like torture.

He had been terrified his sister might never come back.

Knowing she might have returned to the past, he often thought about their days at the orphanage, as if reliving those memories could somehow keep her close.

Gu Yang let out a sigh of relief. She had truly lived through those seven years. During Ryan’s light cone experiment, she’d worried that when she returned, Ah Jue and her sister might have waited painfully for those same seven years.

She gently reassured Feng Jue, “I’ve always been with you.”
